DMX also spoke on his recollection of Aaliyah in an interview with theboombox.com. He worked with Aaliyah on her track "Come Back in One Piece" in 2000:

"I had fun shooting that video. My wife [Tashera Simmons] got mad because there was one scene I was sitting up on the bench and [Aaliyah] was sitting [below] between my legs. I had on a jean jacket, it was a little chilly, and [Aaliyah] just had on a T-shirt.

"I was rubbing her arms, warming her up . . . I just felt the eyeballs [from Tashera]. A wife can give you a stare that will burn the side of your head. It was like a magnifying glass with the sun on me [laughs]. But I wouldn't change a thing."
